The 'palmetto bug' is actually another name for the cockroach.
But it's not the shy, brown-colored little guy that scurries under your desk.
Palmetto bugs live in the deep south, from South Carolina to Florida.
Palmetto bugs are significantly larger than their northern brethren, blacker in color, and bolder. They won't hesitate to drop on your head or run across your toes.
Also, Palmetto bugs can fly. They are also better armored than cockroaches.

I hate palmetto bugs. I saw one in my room this evening and I sprayed a third of a can of roach spray in my room. Where there is one palmetto bug nearby, there is probably a whole colony. Now I will never get to sleep.

Get the packerton mug.Palmetto is the school that all the kids who only got into their home school go to. There are kids from all around Miami driving to Palmetto because no one wants to go to Killian. There are also a lot of ex private school kids because they have given up on their studies. The school unfortunately does not have bathrooms, but Juul rooms. The upstairs halls smell bad. Lunch is not terrible. They sell bagels and candy and sometimes sell Papa Johns pizza after school. Clubs and sports is the way to go at this school to be involved. (You'll make tons of friends and go on field trips)
